the dark bass 704 be quiet features a tempered glass side panel front panel USB 3.1 type C and a reversible motherboard tray for a complete custom look extensive water cooling support and cable management to make this a great case for your next silent build click the link in the description below for more info what's up guys welcome back to the channel hope you're all doing well today we're assembling yet another gaming pc big surprise this is for December's PC of the month and I've decided on a high end AMD risin gaming system with a black and white theme and I'm not gonna go too crazy I'm sort of creatively tapped out this week because we just got done with the end through elite build if you haven't seen that check that out it's pretty crazy but this is gonna be more a more straightforward build very simple but still a very capable gaming system even though it's not $10,000 like the the elite build it'll be great the fact that we're using horizon 7 1700 with eight cores 16 threads and lots of overclocking Headroom also indicates that this could potentially be used as a pretty decent workstation PC thanks to the versatility of these high-end Rison cores we've also got a be 350 tomahawk Arctic motherboard from MSI a nice little sort of mid-range to entry-level a m4 motherboard it's also got a very unique sort of white / silvery aesthetic which i think is gonna match really nicely with everything else we got here pairing that with a 16 gigabyte kit of Ripjaws v ddr4 at 3000 megahertz really important that you get a relatively fast ddr4 kit if you're gonna be pairing it with a Rison CPU because of the whole the whole infinity fabric integration with the Zen architecture that actually helps out a lot when it comes to raw gaming performance additionally we've got a nice cooler for our CPU this is the h5 from cryo rig I've only really ever dealt with like the the more entry-level cryocoolers like the the h7 I don't think I've ever dealt with and then the the low-profile one the c7 both have been fantastic very excited to be using this one for the first time ever it has a nice white cover plate a pretty beefy heatsink compared to the other two I just mentioned and sort of a slim profile fan it looks very nice so super stoked about that the gtx 1070 TI from gigabyte is supposed to be a pretty decent card it's one of the more aggressively priced 1070 TI's on the market right now and it still has a triple fan design of windforce cooler with RGB lighting a metal backplate and all that jazz it does have some orange orange accents on the shroud on the bottom of the shroud but once we get it installed you probably won't see too much of that so I'll be able to sleep at night we've also got an a 55 this is just a regular say the six gigabit per second SSD from a silicon power or SP they don't even put silicon power on the packaging anymore it just says SP you have to go to the back of the box now or the back of the packaging for it to actually say silicon power I don't know if that's they're going under a identity crisis I would know all about that though we've got a 2 terabytes WD black hard drive just to set a simple low mechanical for all of our games and whatnot and then we've got a power supply from in wind this is the C 750 watt as part of their classic series it's an 80 plus Platinum certified unit it's very heavy which usually means usually means that it's high quality and it has fully modular cables and all that supposed to have a pretty quiet fan as well this is not a very stable set up for my Ram stand here tape measures don't make good Ram stands who knew now the power supply does come with all black cables which is nice but to spice things up I decided to go with some custom sleeved cables from woz mods there aren't a ton of really high quality slavers out there in the PC DIY market so whenever I come across one I'm sure to call them out and and give them a shot these are beautifully sleeved Thank You woz mods for taking the time and getting these to me really quick shipping was super fast the rates on the site are very affordable guys check it out I'll put a link in the description below if you want to give your your rig a little extra something aesthetically and then finally I think yeah last but not least we have our case here again from in wind thank you and win for hooking this up this is the in win three oh stop it stop moving you're killing my vibe this is the in win 303 see the see indicating that it has a USB 3.1 gen2 type-c port on the front panel which is great it also has RGB lighting a beautiful tempered-glass side panel that has two less removal I also got a couple fractal design silent series r2 case fans that we might be populating this case with just to give us a little bit more airflow they of course have the traditional fractal design white blades and black frames which i think is also going to look pretty nice so that ladies and gentlemen is what we're working with today should be a very fun and as I mentioned straightforward build so let's just dive right in and get things assembled and we'll circle back after it's all done talk about what building was like inside of the in wind 303 see as a quick disclaimer good quick disclaimer I've actually never built inside of an in wind 303 303 C or even a 301 so this is gonna be a very fresh experience for me that I'll be happy to share with you guys as soon as we're all assembled so on that note ladies and gentleman let's go ahead and get built in three two one let's build it well guys I've done it again you know that thing I do when I'm dumb and I do something stupid because I'm an idiot yeah as I'm sure a lot of you guys already caught from the beginning of the video this motherboard does not have a USB 3.1 type C header on it which means the number one feature of this case cannot be utilized which is the front panel USB 3.1 type C port Joran I'm sorry I was reading I was ordering the parts very quickly and this sounds like an excuse because it totally is and I saw that it did support USB 3.1 type C but I didn't notice it was Gen 1 and it was actually talking about the rear i/o port that it has not the internal header so in a frenzy of ordering parts I bought a motherboard that does not support the thing that we need so um yeah ha ha ha well I guess there's not much we can do now other than press onward with the build I mean I don't even have an alternate be 350 board that would match the theme here that also has a 3.1 type-c header so use this as a reminder to never listen to anything I say although you guys probably do that anyway so you're smart unlike me ok I'm with the belt let's hope nothing else goes wrong good all right so the build is complete it looks very matchy-matchy and everything went smoothly for the most part and as you guys kind of watch back some of this b-roll here you might notice that the system is powered off for every shot and the reason that is is because the ATX cable that came included with this in wind power supply was actually incorrect or defective I'm not sure which one but basically one end of it one end of the cable terminates to a normal 24 pin that goes to the motherboard the other end is a 16 plus 14 pin terminates into two different connectors that would go into the unit but that's that's a 30 pin a 30 total of 30 pins and the unit itself only accepts 24 pin so basically what that equates to is I can't power the motherboard meaning I can't boot the system so I am super strapped for time I would have loved to unplug everything undo what little cable management I did do and swap in a different power supply so I could show it to you guys powered on but I just don't have the time or bandwidth to do that in this video so I'm gonna have to promise you guys I owe you that we'll do some sexy b-roll in a part to follow up or something like that but other things that I can comment on include the cable management in general is is interesting I mean it's it's not amazing and it's not awful there are certain things that you would expect to see on a modern 2017 case like tie-down points behind the motherboard tray there are none or very few from what I could tell so my cables are kind of just sticking out fortunately the way the back side panel works is very is very good at just being able to use brute force to clamp it shut and I didn't really have any trouble with that but it would have been nice to just you know if you're a neat freak or you have OCD to just be able to tie those cables down additionally the front panel connectors at the very bottom usually are plugging in at the very bottom of your motherboard we're a little more difficult than usual just because the way that this is designed you don't really have any space beneath the motherboard for your hands to go so it's like literally just the bottom of your motherboard is the bottom of the case and so it took me a little bit more effort in time to actually get those plugged in and of course there's order of operations there because you actually have to plug in the front panel connectors first before you install any of the intake fans I should have mentioned this earlier but the way this case is designed is that it gets all of its intake from the bottom of the case there's a nice pullout dust filter which I didn't show you guys earlier you can install up to three 120s and that gives you all the necessary intake that you might need pull an air from the bottom of the case there is no ventilation no fan mounts at the front of the case at all so it's pretty unique in that sense and then obviously you have some room here for äô radiators and things like that I just have a single exhaust fan here and then I installed one at the back so overall in total I'm using five I installed five of those fractal design silent series fans looks like they're gonna do a fine job I guess we can test it out in a later video and the other thing is that I overestimated or underestimated how insanely thin or slim or narrow this case is especially when installing a cooler like this like the h5 here from cryo rig it barely it barely made it to width via the side panel actually that the heatsink itself and this cover plate was fine but the fan was actually touching resting up against the tempered glass so any taller and we might have had even more issues than we've already had with this bills a day getting the motherboard installed was pretty straightforward there were a couple pre-installed standoffs but I did still have to install a few more of them for a regular ATX board the drive mounting system seems pretty straightforward there's a couple mounting trays actually on this side right here they're for 1/2 inch drives and 2 more behind the motherboard tray that can that can has either three and a half or two and a half inch drive so that's where they are just get them out of the way keep it a little bit more stealthy love how the cables turned out love how they look in the final build go ahead and check waz mods out in the comments or in the description below if you're at all interested and yeah overall this was a fun system to build even though we ran into several complications this time around but that's just how it goes sometimes guys you just gotta roll with the punches so hopefully you guys enjoyed this video if you did toss me a like on it it really helps me a lot and if you are interested in what you give me my videos a week early without ads you can check me out on floatplane I'll leave a link in the description for that as well but until next time guys have a good one and I will see y'all in the next video
